Non-Panthers thread

I hope they beat each other senseless. Fun to watch.

 

Random shit...

I like the Radiers > Chiefs for wins this year. Raiders swept the division last year and KC beat one team with a winning record - SD - on a punt return opening week. I am sure I will regret this when the Raiders finish 5-11.

Speaking of 5-11.... new backs, same old shitty lines on O and D.

I like these guys too - they were nice to me early last year before fading a bit. But holy shit the schedule doesn't do them any favors early.

 

White's only 6-0 Jones is 6-3. They have some other young guys in the 6-3, 6-4 range. I worry about our Smurf sized DBs matching up with the taller receivers.

I don't think they helped their defense at all this off-season.

They drafted a guy I like a lot at DE, Adrian Clayborn. They have Bowers too and Gerald McCoy but I think their OL and running game is going to be the weaknesses.

They made some moves that I liked. Hard to go against Brees. If he has a good year they win the NFC South.

Hate that about the Steelers. May as well be coated in teflon.

They could suck every year and the fan base would think they could still make the playoffs if just one thing or another had gone different.

 

Think he hates getting drafted by the Bills? Enthusiastic fans, but just not a great place to live.

That's what bothers me about the Falcons. I am a fan of Jones because of Alabama, but I have to believe I'm going to wind up hating on Julio before its all over.

I'm thinking no way they go 13-3 this year - or win the division.
Still hatin'.

See how bad they wanted to get rid of Bush? Bush didn't have the body to be an NFL RB, and didn't have the discipline to be a WR.
Plus, he's a west coast USC prima donna ******.

Tebow might be one of those gamers who doesn't show much in practice. When the pressure comes on he shits gold bricks. Too bad he doesn't have the athleticism of Cam Newton because he sure enough works hard at it and wants to win. Either way I agree with Collin. Orton will have to be sucking in a big way or get hurt to come out of the game.

 

Raiders will put up points. D will probably allow them back.

they got dicked on giving away Fat Albert, cut most of their beef. Spent a lot to keep Jammal Brown to stay mediocre there. I guess Cofield can help some.






Some more I'll find interesting that no one else will -
Philly's transition at DC because of our ties there
San Diego, for fairly obvious reasons, including how Manusky does as DC; I could give a shit about Dallas on average but Rob Ryan on D will be interesting as well. There's the traditional Schottenheimer watch in NY, watching him go from genius to fireable week to week.

I'll also be interested to see what happens with various 'esteemed' 'name' line coaches who commentators and pundits will raise to hero status, that possibly never should've been 'names' because line coaches are shitty head coaches (I guess that means it'll be interesting to see what happens with the Titans). So, Mike Tice and Tom Cable, good luck meeting the expectations of the media - apparently it doesn't matter, they'll think you're great if Tice's 2010 line is any indication (and 2011's will fucking suck so bad).

 

Tebow barely completed 50% of his passes in the regular season. Orton may suck but I just don't think Tebow is the answer as well

 

I'll be honest, the Tebow/Orton/Quinn thing is exceptionally boring to me.

 

I did like Fox calling a draw on 2nd and 17. Just like old times.

 

On what basis do you assume that Tebow doesn't have Cam's athleticism? People keep acting like Newton is an elite athlete when he isn't anything of the sort. He's a better passer than Tebow, however.

 

So, they have 9 points now. Guessing 3 FGs? Fox ball
